Giving users a warning sounds good. I agree with Pierre, too. How about defining the rules set to be secure by design? Or just following up on a pattern without discovering something new? Could you please elaborate on Jarek?
*TLDR* It may be a slight implementation detail and just a thought, but we could integrate Keycloak into the SAM, providing development and production modes with configurations such as breeze dev and installation prod. I believe that instead of maintaining an application to always be secure by default, we can focus on maintaining integration within SAM.
